“Did you make a pledge?”
The childish voice echoed in the man’s ears, making him pause in surprise.
Seeing that Zhao Yicheng didn’t answer, Xu Yinsheng became even more convinced. She finished the last sip of her milk tea, tossed the empty cup into the trash can, and leaned close to his ear. “You really did, didn’t you.”
“Tsk tsk tsk!!”
“The female lead and the second female are long-lost sisters. Tsk tsk tsk, let me guess, are you projecting yourself as the male lead who gets both sisters?”
“Do you want to do something to me?”
Her small hand traced circles on the man’s thigh, just like a mischievous child. But with her delicate looks and soft, smooth body, she resembled a baby, making it impossible to resist those lively eyes. It made one want to scoop her up and pamper her.
Zhao Yicheng took a deep breath of cool air to suppress the evil fire in his heart. He pushed the dragon-girl loli off himself and sat her upright in her seat.
“Watch the movie properly.”
His reaction seemed to disappoint Xu Yinsheng greatly. She pouted. “Playing the gentleman now? You really think just because you haven’t touched me for a month, my opinion of you will change? If you don’t eat meat now, you won’t even get the chance later.” She snorted softly, glancing with disdain at that part of the man. “Boring, truly boring. I’m going to the restroom.”
With that, she hopped down from her seat, her short little legs carrying her in a cute, bouncy way toward the restroom.
But before leaving, she pulled a little prank. As she hopped off, her chubby tail suddenly grew out, and in the darkness, she swung it between the man’s legs.
With a muffled grunt, Zhao Yicheng instantly wore the Face of Pain, his expression contorted as he hunched over, trembling slightly.
On the other side, after coming out of the restroom, Xu Yinsheng went to the sink, stood on tiptoes to grab a wet towel, and cleaned her hands while looking at her reflection.
Big eyes, a melon-seed-shaped face, cherry-like lips, and a cute height of barely one meter forty—no matter how she looked, she was like a living plush toy, making people want to hug and dote on her.
“Tch! Zhao Yicheng really has no taste, not even daring to kiss me. No wonder he’s been single all this time.” Xu Yinsheng touched her lips, muttering to herself.
“In the future, even if he wants to kiss me, he absolutely won’t get the chance. By then, I’ll have a Fierce Lady on my left, a Student Girl on my right, and who knows where I’ll be enjoying myself.”
She absolutely refused to admit that just now, it wasn’t only Zhao Yicheng who’d gotten excited—she had too.
She wanted kisses, wanted hugs, wanted to be…satisfied.
Splashing her face with handfuls of cold water, Xu Yinsheng stared at the loli in the mirror, talking to herself.
“Xu Yinsheng, you must hold on. Right now, aside from your own heart, you have nothing left.” “If even that gets tricked away by Zhao Yicheng, that pervert and lunatic, you’ll truly be a complete loser.”
“Don’t fall for him. Don’t let your heart waver. And above all, don’t forget the crimes he’s committed against you…”
The loli in the mirror slowly raised her head, her gem-like violet eyes meeting Xu Yinsheng’s gaze. Looking into the reflection, Xu Yinsheng felt like she was staring at her former self.
“Zhao Yicheng is definitely not someone worthy of your lifelong trust.”
“Captain, the flowers and lights are ready. When do we start?” Suddenly, voices came from the men’s restroom next door.
A man addressed as Captain replied, “According to the client’s request, as soon as the credits roll after the movie, we can go in.”
Footsteps followed, hasty and moving away.
“Hurry up and follow, double-check everything again. Remember, it’s Movie Theater 02, don’t mess it up.”
“Here we go again, another rich kid proposing. That’s the third one this month.” After these words, the restroom went quiet again.
A rich kid? Proposal? Movie Theater 02?
Thinking back to the diamond aura she had sensed on Zhao Yicheng earlier, inspiration struck Xu Yinsheng like a bolt of lightning, and a bold guess flashed through her mind.
Yue Fengcheng is going to propose to me?!!
First shock, then anger.
Xu Yinsheng’s little pink fists clenched tight, making a cracking sound. Her watery, violet eyes glared round.
Damn it! He actually has the nerve to propose to me?!
That she’d ended up in this situation was all his doing!!
No wonder he hadn’t done anything to her this whole month—it was all just to store up goodwill for this!
When Xu Yinsheng returned to Movie Theater 02, the movie was almost over. Zhao Yicheng, still wearing the Face of Pain, had finally recovered a bit. Seeing Xu Yinsheng return, he endured the pain to speak.
“Xiao Yin, you…”
“Serves you right!” Xu Yinsheng snorted coldly, turned, and sat down without even glancing at him. “Big Boss Zhao, just what script are you playing this time?”
Zhao Yicheng was baffled by her sudden fury. “Xiao Yin, what are you talking about?”
“Keep pretending, go on!” Xu Yinsheng punched Zhao Yicheng’s chest, grinding her teeth.
“In any case, I’m telling you, I won’t accept it.”
“Tell your people to get lost. If you take out a diamond ring, I’ll swallow it in one gulp.”
Zhao, struck by her pink fist, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
What pretending? What accept? What does she mean by telling his people to get lost? And what about swallowing his diamond ring?
Usually invincible in the business world, Big Boss Zhao now felt like his brain couldn’t keep up at all—UCU totally not functioning.
While Zhao Yicheng was still stunned, the movie ended. As the credits rolled, a proposal song began to play.
The doors of the theater opened, and several ticket inspectors walked in. One of them, holding a bouquet, walked towards Xu Yinsheng and Zhao Yicheng.
Xu Yinsheng crossed her legs, glancing at the man beside her with disdain, as if to say, “See, your people are here—how much longer will you keep pretending?”
The inspector carrying the flowers came closer and closer. The sarcasm in Xu Yinsheng’s eyes grew stronger. Then, she saw the inspector walk past her and deliver the bouquet to a young couple sitting a few rows behind.
“Ms. Aiyu, these are custom-ordered flowers from your boyfriend, Mr. Tiao Yu.”
“Thank you!” The young girl named Aiyu blushed.
Her boyfriend quickly dropped to one knee and took out a shining diamond ring from his pocket.
“Aiyu, will you marry me?” “Mm!” The girl shyly nodded.
She accepted the ring and slipped it onto her left ring finger.
Everyone in the theater became onlookers, bursting into applause.
Xu Yinsheng turned, meeting the man’s pained gaze, utterly astonished.
For a moment, big eyes stared into small ones.
